I’ve been saving this band for quite some time now; as this is quite possibly the last "In Remembrance," it seemed only fitting to finish strong with a band that couldn’t possibly be missed more, The Darkness. Now for those of you who only recall a bunch of Brits with long hair, ambling unintelligibly about women and booze in an arcane falsetto, boy have you been missing out (although those are undeniably the best parts). The Darkness are so much more than your average hair metal band that arrived on the scene two decades late. They embodied what was missing for so long in the world of hard rock - humor. And sure, you could argue that there have always been bands out there making good music laced with humor, but the Darkness took that idea and ran with it, all while making some of the most kick-ass, catchy music of the decade.

Michael Eavis hails the "best Glastonbury ever" – despite a freak electrical storm that causes the Pyramid stage to explode during a Sunday lunchtime comeback set from the Darkness, killing all four band members instantly. By way of tribute, and following an internet campaign, the Darkness' Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) is Christmas No 1.
